All The Time
Saturday Escapades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I'll keep selling myself short
If it means that ill be with you more
Doesn't mean that you're the one
Me and my friends stay at home
And try and write some shitty songs
It's boring me down to the bone
I go wild
When I go out
And I go out
All the time
I go wild
When I go out
And I go out
All the time
All the time
A rush of blood straight to my head
I've lost the energy, don't care
Wish that I could be like them
I think I sold myself too short
And I don't like you much at all
I'm sick and tired of your bones
I go wild
When I go out
And I go out
All the time
I go wild
When I go out
And I go out
All the time
All the time
I go wild
When I go out
And I go out
All the time
I go wild
When I go out
And I go out




All the time
All the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Saturday Escapades's song "All the Time" seem to touch on themes of self-doubt, longing, and dissatisfaction. The singer suggests that they are willing to "sell themselves short" in order to be with someone they desire, even if they may not be the right person for them. They express a sense of boredom and frustration, as they and their friends stay at home trying to create music but feeling unfulfilled and stagnant.


The chorus, "I go wild when I go out, and I go out all the time," reflects a desire for excitement and escape from their current circumstances. It suggests that the singer finds solace and a sense of release when they engage in social activities and explore the outside world. However, the repetition of the phrase "all the time" in the chorus implies a potential emptiness or overindulgence in these escapades, as if the singer is consistently seeking some kind of thrill without finding lasting satisfaction.


The second verse hints at a loss of motivation and interest. The singer mentions a "rush of blood straight to my head," which could symbolize impulsivity or an inability to think clearly. They seem resigned to their lack of energy and express a wish to be like others who seemingly have more purpose or direction. The line "I think I sold myself too short" suggests regret and a realization that they have settled for less than they deserve. The song ends with a disenchanted sentiment, expressing weariness and disdain towards someone the singer doesn't like very much.


Overall, "All the Time" conveys a mix of longing, frustration, and fleeting moments of excitement. It explores themes of self-doubt, seeking fulfillment outside oneself, and reflecting on missed opportunities or compromised choices.

I loved this song when it came out on Rhythm Nation in the late 80's and today I love it even more. Rhythm Nation has to be in the top 10 albums ever made.

@raegibson3066

Her best album for sure...

@PaladinLarec

Agreed. I don't know why it isn't held in the same regard as Thriller. I loved Rhythm Nation way better.

@saraliza3137

Rhythm Nation absolutely rocks! This is one of my absolute favorite songs and the whole album is amazing!

@chrisdonohue3843

Rhythm Nation and Teenage Dream are the only 2 albums ever to have 7 songs reach the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Old and New Testament of the Pop Bible ❤️

She is a living legend. She has SO MANY HITS. I think she is extremely underrated.

@Brownie-tg3nu

I’d like to know what her career would be like had her brother not have been the most famous person who has ever lived?

@dawnlee866

@@Brownie-tg3nu JJ is talented in own right. She would’ve been bigger than what she is now ❤😍🔥
